Re: [ST] Short Question

[Dave Bardell <dbardell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neal.

I'm 5' 8" and purchased one of the Sargent seats, tried it and returned 
it.  My feelings are it will work fine for taller riders, but us shorter 
folks will not fit on this seat and manage to be comfortable.  Stock 
seat was good for 600+ mile days, and for me, the Sargent was only good 
for 200 miles before I had to get off.

Top notch construction and looks though!!

YMMV
